Because it’s being used in blue states to create division, chaos, and cause a reaction - to punish political opponents, warn others, and to eventually justify martial law or further paramilitary intimidation before and during the midterm elections. The matter of fact is this sort of force only shows the US has become a lawless place, where the courts are slow and the current forces are free to push the envelope to crush any opposition, with the excuse of pursuing illegals. Sad state of affairs.
You maga dumbasses love diverting and projecting. I swear every time I bring up something bad that Trump has done, you guys say “but Biden did this” and “Obama did this” like ok?? I don’t agree with them doing it either. Unlike you, we don’t follow our politicians like cult leaders. We question them and want them to do better. We don’t blindly defend our politicians and lick their boots like you magas do
America isn’t about open borders and letting people roam freely and do whatever. There’s a process. People need to follow it. It’s finally getting enforced and it’s a big damn mess because the people who were in charge prior to this did a poor job of it, unlike many other countries that left leaning people put on pedestals. The rate at which people are picked up who are supposed to be here is exceedingly low and it’s unfortunate when it happens, but good riddance to the rest.
No. You’re expected to have valid ID on you. Your passport would definitely suffice. A real-ID should as well however there are problems with that system as well. Also usually they are looking for someone in particular when they are out and about. They will detain others if they find them though. Having a social security number is enough to prove you are a citizen usually as well I’m pretty sure.
It was an example of a law enforcement officer trying to figure out who someone they are talking to is. I am aware it’s not the same thing. ICE generally isn’t just running around detaining people at random though. They are targeting specific individuals to detain. Going around at random is not an effective way of finding someone here illegally believe me
Even if they are, they are legally allowed to do that. I’m not saying that’s morally right because it isn’t. Regardless they are just enforcing existing immigration laws that previous administration’s refused to. Had they never stopped enforcing the existing immigration laws this massive surge would never have been needed
Not necessarily if they have probable cause. Also asking if someone is a US citizen is something any defense contractor will ask on a job application or interview. The probable cause thing gives law enforcement of all kinds a lot of latitude. I’m not even going to argue that it hasn’t been abused by many law enforcement agencies over the decades though because it has.
as someone who knows about the immigration system. even if ur a legal resident. lets say ur on a work visa, you don’t have a ssn, but you get another kind of number that represents u as a tax payer. the dmv can’t give these people real-id because they don’t have a ssn but a itin. they’re still legal.
